The Beatles: A rare group of 'Yellow Submarine' film ephemera,

comprising: an Invitation to the Press Show, 16th July, two tickets to the World Gala Premiere, 17th July, an invitation to the after-premiere party at the Royal Lancaster Hotel inscribed John Coates Esq. and Guest, a telegram with congratulations on the film's success and a number of newspaper clippings

Footnotes

The clippings provide an interesting snapshot of the film's critical reception at the time. Ian Christie in the Daily Express described it as "an absolute joy", whilst Felix Barker in the Evening News commented, "It makes Disney's 'Fantasia' seem like a nursery frieze for toddlers. We are hurled into the unearthly paradise of Pepperland, our eyeballs are assaulted by op art, pop art, art nouveau, new Brutalism, and plain old-fashioned cartoonery."
